The ranch was the site of a sawmill in the early 1900s when the old Rio Grande Southern and Galloping Goose Railroads ran through the property along the Dolores River. All that’s left now is a little shack in the middle of the meadow and some remnants of the railroad tracks in the river.

Trivia time! Which part of Utah contains the densest black bear and largest elk population? The Manti-La Sal National Forest, of course! How about this one: where does most of the coal mined in Utah come from? Well, 85% of it is mined right here in the Manti-La Sal. This special forest is full of natural surprises, like lofty mountaintops, lush meadows, cavernous sandstone canyons, plus plenty of water. If it sounds like there’s a ton of diversity here, that’s because there truly is! All of this diversity means that there’s a lot to do out here. Near Moab, the forest is home to the La Sal Mountains with their tall peaks and narrow canyons. To the north, on the Wasatch Plateau, you’ll be yearning for your next road trip along the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byways (also called the Energy Loop). And when it comes time to hit the hay at night? You guessed it—there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

Weekend Trip to The Views at Gateway

It was a beautiful spot, the cabin was nice. However, I was disappointed and left kind of at a disadvantage, because according to the description, there was supposed to be potable water on-site! There was not, There was also supposed to be electricity! There was not, did not see the bathroom pit either. The description indicated there would be a trundle bed, which there was, with one mattress on the upper part, no secondary mattress. The host was supposed to meet us on-site and never showed up. Luckily, we came prepared for some things. Had an air mattress to make up the difference. However, we shortered ourselves on water as we expected to have potable water on-site. Aside from the misrepresentation, it was a beautiful sight. And we did enjoy our stay.

Beautiful private camp space with super friendly and helpful host. Stayed one night on our way through to Utah and wish we could've spent another. Cabin was cozy with camp cooking amenities. There was even a telescope for stargazing. We got a great view of the full moon. Great place to stay for couples or small groups.

Weekend Trip to The Views at Gateway

I loved staying at this little spot - it was close to the river which my dogs absolutely loved! The views were gorgeous and sitting by the campfire watching the cliffs change color was therapy! We stayed inside the little hut on the property but I think next time I will pitch a tent to enjoy the breeze as the hut got warm at night! The property was very easy to find and get to. Would love to go back one day to get sometime off the grid.

The host Jody was great. Made sure I had what it needed. Beautiful views, right on the river, solid walls for cold fall nights. She made sure I had a heater. Did a ton of fishing and exploring. Felt like you had the entire canyon to yourself. Loved it... so did my pup. Thanks!
